Agriculture and tourism have built Chandler into a thriving community. While both remain important contributors to its economic base, the open land that once drew farmers and ranchers is now a magnet for high-tech manufacturing companies, including Intel Corp, Motorola and Microchip Technology. Many who move to Chandler count affordable housing and its small town appeal among the main reasons to move here. Because much of the city’s infrastructure was built to accommodate its recent population explosion, there is a sense of renewal in the air, culminating in the city’s cultural crowning glory: the Chandler Center for the Arts.
